Though this brush does not come with a smart guide, or have as many settings as the precision 5000, it still has amazing cleaning abilities and is a by cheaper than the 5000. The brush head oscillates and pulsates and reaches all those nooks and crannies. It's a product good for just about anyone: children and people who have trouble brushing their teeth with a manual toothbrush for medical reasons, and for just anyone who wants a thorough clean that you are much less likely to get with a manual toothbrush.
I'm a dental hygienist and love my oral b electric toothbrush. I highly recommend it to all my patients. My kids love using this brush and won't use a regular manual brush anymore
I keep trying the "New" and "Improved" electric toothbrushes. I have used and recommended this one since it first hit the market. The design works! The motion works! The size fits all! New head designs are a bonus! The price is within most everyone's reach. They last for-e-ver!!!!! I have done trials on free electric brushes. What do I use? Oral B of course!!
the brush head is a little big but it does cover enough surface areas. some rectangular brushes are even more likely to indirectly brush areas i dont want to brush like my gums or sensitive incisal or occlusal surfaces. i like this one.
